Compliments

You know what's sad? It's sad that no matter how much someone compliments you it isn't true unless you believe it too. Some may find you intelligent, gorgeous, and all-out awesome but if you refuse to see it, the compliment automatically become insincere or biased. That's why I'm writing about it. I find it so important to believe in yourselves.

Elder Neal A. Maxwell said,
"It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves,
not only for what you are now, but what you have the
power to become."

Elder Jeffery R. Holland,
"Got doesn't care nearly as much about
where you have been as He does about where
you are and, with His help, where you are
willing to go."

I could go on forever...there are so many quotes and scriptures encouraging us to be OKAY with ourselves. It's not about our looks or our brains. It's about the kindness in our hearts, the intentions of our minds, and the callous of service on our fingertips.

I hope you all keep that in your mind. Know that you were born to be the very best: no matter the size; no matter the shape; disregarding any pitiful cry of society telling you that you aren't enough. So believe in yourselves a little because frankly, you are much, much more.
